As part of the Open House\, we will be showing a film by Nathaniel Dorsky at 2pm.\n \n Hours for Jerome (as in a Book of Hours) is an arrangement of images\, energies\, and illuminations from daily life. These fragments of light rev olve around the four seasons: Part One is spring through summer\; Part Two is fall and winter.\n Hours for Jerome is simply the most bea utifully photographed film that I've ever seen\; here we enter the realm o f the compassionate and the full achievement of what film can do cinemagra phically is achieved. It is a privilege to experience the thoughtful unfol ding of these images. \n \n - Warren Sonbert\n \n \n \n A newly preserved print a vailable courtesy Pacific Film Archive\n (16mm\, color/silent\, 45min.\, 1980-82)\n \n \n\n DTEND:20091213T230000Z DTSTART:20091213T190000Z LAST-MODIFIED:20091118T205900Z SUMMARY:Woodland Pattern's Annual Open House Featuring Hours For Jerome\, Part One & Two a film by Nathaniel Dorsky URL:http://www.woodlandpattern.org/ END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT UID:c2b0dd6d352cb7a88b2ad77f12eae7d8 DTSTAMP:20120208T232741Z CONTACT:Woodland Pattern Book Center\n720 E Locust St.\nMilwaukee WI 53212 \n414-263-5001 DESCRIPTION: \n\n \n \n \n \n \n Drum Leaf Binding: The Perfect Book Structure for Painters\, Printers &\; Collage Artists with Sharon Van Ruiswyk\n Sunday\, January 24\, 10am-4pm with a break for lunch $75/$70 members\n \n Developed by Tim C. Ely based on the bind ing models of a 17th century atlas of astronomy\, Drum Leaf Binding is the perfect structure for painters\, printer and collage artists. Each two-pa ge spread can be a print\, painting or a unique image folded in half elimi nating the need for complex organizations. Drum Leaf Binding\, like an acc ordion book\, allows you to layout the information in a more intuitive fas hion. While the pages are straightforward in their construction\, the book uniquely can lay flat and each spread opens flat for complete visibility.  \n \n This is an exceptional binding for t hose book artists interested in unique books that feature hand painted ima ges\, or one-of-a-kind collages. It is equally valuable to printmakers loo king to create books out of their prints but who are not interested in bre aking up images to accommodate impositions across pages and around gutters . In a more simplified paper cover\, this binding is an excellent choice f or first time book artists—including young children—it involves no sew ing experience or skills and allows students to lay out each two-page spre ad in advance of the final collation. With slight modifications in glues a nd papers\, it also lends itself well to digital book making.\n \n Students are invited to bring: pencil\, scissors\, ruler\, exacto cutter\, cutting mat\, materials to decorate pages\, glue s tick and images for collage\, drawing materials. Students can also bring a lready completed pages with images or collages if they so choose. A page s pread is 6x12 inches (same as two 6x6 pages side by side).\n  \n  \n To register call 414-263-5001\n  \n \n \n \n \n \n \n DTEND:20100124T220000Z DTSTART:20100124T160000Z LAST-MODIFIED:20091118T210200Z SUMMARY:BOOK MAKING WORKSHOP!

Clarke Street--\nGreetings\, neighbors.\nWe've had three murders here in Riverwest in less than nine months\; three more than is tolerable. We'v e also had some non-fatal shootings. Recently we've had some armed robberi es. A few weeks ago we received a communication from the 5th District rega rding a spike in burglaries in the area. Vehicle break-ins are a year-roun d problem. And we still have blocks where neighbors are being disturbed\, harassed and intimidated by a few bad apples that spoil the block they are on as well as surrounding blocks.Even with those problems\, Riverwest con tinues to be one of the safest areas\, if not the safest area\, in the 5th District. But we can't "\;rest on our laurels."\; We know we must remain committed to working together to continue to improve conditions in Riverwest\, and to keeping our neighborhood "\;the greatest place on Earth"\; (Disneyland be damned!).The Central Riverwest Neighborhood Bl ock Watch Organization will host a Riverwest Community Safety Meeting to a ddress problems and issues in the neighborhood that threaten public safety and our "\;way of life\,"\; and to explore ways to remedy those s ituations. The meeting will be held on Monday\, May 3rd\, at 7:00pm at the Polish Falcons hall\, 801 E. Clarke Street.3rd District Alderman Nik Kova c\, 6th District Alderwoman Milele Coggs\, Milwaukee County District Attor ney John Chisholm\, Department of Neighborhood Services Commissioner Art D ahlberg and Safe &\; Sound Director Joe Kubisiak have committed to atte nd\, and we are waiting hear from Milwaukee Police Chief Ed Flynn and Milw aukee City Attorney Grant Langley.This is not intended to simply be a &quo t\;bitching session."\; We all know what our problems are. What we nee d to do is come together and brainstorm so we can come up with solutions\, ways to alleviate the problems together as a neighborhood.So\, WE NEED YO UR HELP!We will place fliers announcing the meeting in the windows of Rive rwest businesses\, in the neighborhood bars\, and on the various bulletin boards in our area. But that will not be enough. We need YOU to volunteer to distribute fliers to all of the addresses on your block (and perhaps an other block or two if you can). If enough of us are willing to help\, we c an make certain all of Riverwest will know about the meeting.I'll need to know if you are willing to help by this Saturday\, April 24th.
